LET US UNITE AND THINK HOME

It is said among
our people that "ebe onye bi ka o na awachi" (where one lives is
where he builds). This is often the driving force in the heart of every Igbo
Biafran that compels him to turn any remote village he steps in, into a mega
city with his enterprise. He unbiasedly invests and builds anywhere he finds
himself. This, he does with passion and joy because life, to him is about how
good and comfortable he lives and helps others live. It is a virtue for every
Biafran to live well. And this has always challenged every average Biafran to
work hard, no wonder laziness is never attributed to Igbo man. The wealth of an
Igbo man is naturally from his sweat and hustle.

Wealth is good
but it is best recognised when it gets home. Because, it is volatile and can
fickle away and return the owner to his initial low-level position. Our people
put forth another adage, "aku ruo ulo amara onye kpara ya" (the
wealth should get to the home). The concept of "aku ruo ulo" is one virtue
Biafrans are yet to allow sink and adopt in their lives perhaps, because of the
former ("ebe onye bi ka o na awachi”) concept that has permeated their
veins. There is no doubts it is due to the freeness of Biafrans to take as our
homes, anywhere we arrived; and build and develops it, the sages put forth the
later adage to help redirect us to our original homes but yet some of us seem
not to value the concept.

There is
necessity, Biafrans should as a matter of urgency think home and unite. We have
to start thinking home because it is not what we thought that Nigeria is, that
it is. Unity should lead in our courses now! When we are in our actions the
enemy cannot penetrate us if we are united. Thanks all living in Lagos
witnessed the just concluded presidential election why we need to unite. The
reason why I am urging all Biafrans to heed the call for a united front is that
with it, we will achieve a lot of progress more than we have done in the past.
Biafrans living outside the shores of Biafraland should see reason to support
this struggle for Biafra independence. The Yorubas have OPC and they do not
disparage them in public, rather they employ them in some political and tribal
issues. Same with Arewa.

They have not
only Hisba police but also militant group, boko haram. Though, they are causing
havoc in their land but they are not fought or criticized publicly. They are
harboured and paid.Why then would a
sane Biafran think it wise to disparage IPOB who are on genuine course for
betterment of our nation and ourselves? We have many groups fighting for Biafra
Restoration but only few are genuine while others and some individuals are just
there to scuttle the progress made by their own brothers. They know themselves and
IPOB know them all. And they will be paid accordingly. These set of people
neglect their homes and their people they left behind at home and build
mansions off-home. When talking to them about Biafra they see it as mirage and
nonsensical. They always pick offense with agitators of Biafra because they
would say that they will lose all their investments if Biafra comes. They
forgot that no matter what one does in a foreign land, one should think home in
case of eventuality.

So, please
Biafrans let’s remember that we owe a duty to our mother land, Biafra, because only
her restoration shall we have complete joy in our lives as a nation. Remember,
“aku ruo ulo amara onye kpara ya".
